The NHLPA loves compliance buyouts. The player gets their full salary and gets to sign with another team.

The owners don't want compliance buyouts because they don't want to be spending money for players to not be on their team right now

You're probably confusing it with the lockout thing. The accelerated buyout, which guys like Gomez and Redden received, worked like that. They got their full salary for the lockout season and then after that the buyout kicked in normally without cap consequences (2/3 of the salary). It was done to avoid teams sitting out players so that they won't get injured, IIRC both the Rangers and Habs had already announced that their respective previously mentioned players wouldn't be playing.

It would be a nice carrot to the NHLPA (first year full salary, rest normal buyout), but the accelerated buyout happened out of circumstance, so why would the owners agree to it this time? If amnesty buyouts were to happen, it would be during the offseason and there wouldn't be the same sort of need for it like in 2013.

Why? It's the owners who don't like the compliance buyouts.
Amnesty buyouts mean that a handful of shit players take a 33% pay cut, and 100% of their cap space can be used to give money to other players. Those players who took the pay cut can also turnaround and sign a new contract with another team too and make up the losses.

Well those "handful of shit players" would lose millions upon millions of dollars, which they wouldn't lose under normal circumstances. So yeah, it is kind of a big deal for them and not all of them are in a position to make it back on new deals, especially in this current situation where every team is short on money to give out (yes, I understand this would create more space for teams, but lots of teams have already issues paying their young core players, so the money would be soon spent).

They might be millionaires already, but money is still money. I just don't see the incentive from the NHLPA's side to do this in the middle of a CBA.

I have this on a hoodie, I dont hate the guy, I really dont. I just wish he would sonk somewhere else, its time Yands.

If we're buying out Yandle, and there's no amnesty buyout, one would assume that Verhaeghe is not in the long term plans.
Even if we buyout Hornqvist's final year (which would mean three buyouts on the books in 2022-23) there won't be enough dough to pay Swaggy unless he's staying for far below what he's worth.

Maybe not good news but it's news I guess..




Zito taking a look at those Tank medical records

 

[FinlandPanther]

Maybe not good news but it's news I guess..

What’s so bad about it? Health is concerning though.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

He's owed $9.5 mil this year and $5.5 mil next year.
I edited a gif of Zito inspecting those medical records.

Think we would have to ship out some money if we have to sign Bennett and Forsling.
Duke is gone for sure if we get Tank

Yeah the shoulder for him is concerning but if you get a healthy Tarasenko with Barkov and V they are going to do massive damage.

No doubt. He's 30 in December, if healthy like we said, we may squeeze two solid years out of him and he may be motivated to show he's good to earn a deal in the future (with someone else)
We have $13.1 mil in space right now, he's at $7.5 mil per

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Of course we would get Tarasenko 11 years too late lmao

Not to start the Tallon vs. computer boys debate again, but Yandle was a computer boys signing.

I did say at the time that the contract is two years too long and here we are.

And even you were wrong: the contract was three years too long.
